I don't know what "flavor" you're looking for. Apparently you have some kind of set of related but different ideas that in your head form the notion of communism. And apparently this notion leads you to think that Bernie or AOC are in favor of communism. But neither of them is in favor of anything that even remotely resembles any commonly accepted definition of communism.

    I don’t know what “flavor” you’re looking for.

    I thought that was clear, and made abundantly so by my soapbox you just replied to (that it seems like you didn't read).

    Let me be as blunt as possible so you don't miss it again:

    What does (the person behind) lemmy.world/u/wpb believe "communism" and "socialism" are?

    Both can have radically different forms and definitions, throughout history and between people. Debating whether or not anyone in the US is in favor of either obviously highly depends on what form we're talking about.

    Mamdani is opening government-run grocery stores. That's socialism - wouldn't you agree?
